THE PROGRAM:
The Paducah Film Society programming at Maiden Alley Cinema is your window to the world of fine film. We offer award winning independent domestic film, classic film from the golden age of Hollywood, internationally renowned foreign film and a host of academy award winners. With several community out reach events, our ‘Movies For Me’ childrens’ program and the addition of the River’s Edge Film Festival, we offer many opportunities to share the magic of film making with everyone in our area.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED:
As a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, the Paducah Film Society relies greatly on the support of our friends. Our regular box office income only provides 65% of our annual operating expenses. This is why our annual fundraising event, tax deductable donations, and membership program are so crucial. Help support the culture of independent film in Paducah.

The opening of Maiden Alley Cinema is a dream come true for all of us.The Paducah Film Society, a 501 c 3 nonprofit organization, was founded in 1991 by a group of arts-minded individuals who saw a need for an outlet for foreign, independent and documentary film. For the first five years of operation, PFS screened one film per month, Sundays at the Cinema. As interest increased within the community, programming expanded to multiple screenings. While the space we rented from Paducah's Market House Theatre was adequate, we were limited as to how often we could present our films due to the demand of the Market House's live production programming. We needed a new home, and Maiden Alley Cinema was born.

Since then, Paducah Film Society (Maiden Alley Cinema) has become one of the area's leading arts organizations, bringing the art of the film to a much wider audience. Our regular weekly films, special film events, children's programs and vintage film series provide an ever-changing and exciting embellishment to the growing cultural community of Paducah, Kentucky.

FILMS WE SHOW
Film is becoming a clear and present venue for artists to express themselves and their viewpoints. It rides along side music as another way to entertain and support what has become a billion dollar industry by some, and also which can be used by others as a purely artistic tool.

Today mainstream film has become a part of modern day life. We can barely turn our heads with out seeing or hearing about the next big film and what a Hollywood insider is doing with their free time. What tends to remain hidden is how the next great filmmaker of our time is using film in Boise, Tokyo, Aberdeen or Olsow. Our interest in film here at Maiden Alley goes beyond the visible business aspect of film as Hollywood uses it and into the heart of what film can offer us in the way of documentary, animation, experimental, and narrative filmmaking.

Individuals finding funding, and working outside the mainstream industry create what we call independent film. Whether they choose not to take part in Hollywood’s system, or have yet to break in, these films and filmmakers are arguably the purest there are. To bring a film from simply a passing idea to a script or outline, to a recorded image and a final print is, for a filmmaker, an emotional, financial and time intensive task. The artistic ability and heart and soul it takes to create a film without support from the mainstream film industry is proof positive that there is more behind what we show than an interest in money and “cool action scenes”. Be it foreign or domestic, we strive to offer the best in filmmaking, and the best in films.
